Elected Officials The California Citizens Compensation Commission meets annually in the spring to review and establish salaries and benefits for elected officials in the Executive and Legislative branches.

7 The Commission consists of seven members appointed by the Governor, three representing the public and two each the business community and labor organizations. Salaries become effective the first day of the new legislative session the first Monday of December. The Department of Human Resources provides staff support to the Commission. Appointed State Officers The salaries of most top level state officers (Agency Secretaries and Department Directors) who are appointed by the Governor are set in Chapter 6, Part 1, Division 3, of Title 2 of the Government Code. Each section in this chapter lists a salary and the positions that are to receive that salary. (The State Senate must confirm any appointee to a position listed in this chapter.) Chapter 6 also includes provisions that most of the salaries listed will increase in any fiscal year in which a general salary increase is provided for state employees. The amount of the increase shall be comparable to, but shall not exceed, the percentage of the general salary increases provided for state employees.

8 The Department of Human Resources reports the amount of the increase to the State Controller (who administers the payroll system) to implement the increase. Department of Human Resources (CalHR) Exempts The Constitution of the State of California provides that members of boards and commissions, appointees of the Governor and one appointee of each Governor's appointee shall be exempt from civil service. All those that do not fall under the categories of appointed state officer or elected state official (above) come under the salary approval authority of the Department of Human Resources (CalHR). For these employees, CalHR approves the salary range for each position and determines any annual increase. These positions normally receive the same increase provided comparable civil service employees. please see Exempt Authority in the Explanatory Notes below for an explanation of the various exempt appointments.

9 State of California Exempt Salary Schedule July 2017 2 | P a g e 2017-11-1 Exempt v. Excluded Employees The term exempt often is confused with excluded , however they are different. An excluded employee is excluded from collective bargaining (the Dills Act). An exempt employee is exempt from the civil service law and rules. Most exempt employees are excluded from collective bargaining because they are management level positions but some are not. The terms are not interchangeable. Return to: Table of Contents State of California Exempt Salary Schedule July 2017 3 | P a g e 2017-11-1 Work Week Group Definitions Work Week Group 2: (Effective 10/1/85) Overtime for employees in classes not eligible for exemption under Section 7K of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is defined as all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a period of 168 hours or seven consecutive 24-hour periods. Hours Worked For the purpose of identifying hours worked under the provisions of the FLSA, only the time that is controlled or required by the State and pursued for the benefit of the State need be counted.

10 Thus paid leave such as vacation, sick leave, holidays, compensating time off, etc., need not be included when determining if overtime hours have been worked under the FLSA. However, under applicable State regulations, paid leave is considered time worked and when an employee works more than 40 hours in a week that includes paid leave, an overtime payment obligation is incurred. Work Periods A work period for WWG 2 employees is defined as a fixed and regularly occurring period of 168 hours - seven consecutive 24-hour periods. The appointing power determines the work week which may begin on any day at any hour. Once the beginning time of an employee's work week is established and noted in the records, it remains fixed regardless of the schedule of hours worked. The beginning of a work week may be changed if the change is intended to be permanent and it is not designed to evade the overtime provision of the FLSA.
